Traits and Ancillaries Validator v0.5b
-----------------------------------
I've had several instances where a typo or a non-existent trait or ancillary was referenced in a trigger and caused the game to do a hard CTD (no error message whatsoever). To prevent that from happening, I wrote this little program.
Just place it in your Data folder or wherever your export_descr_character_traits.txt and export_descr_ancillaries.txt are located, and double-click. It will examine the files to make sure you don't try to give a general a non-existent trait or ancillary (non-existent meaning it's not defined, or it's misspelled, etc), as well as a few other of my common mistakes.
It will list all the defined traits and ancillaries in the file Traits.txt (this list could come in handy for documentation ~D ), as well as any potential problems in TraitErrors.txt. It makes a list of the non-Hidden traits that should have entries in the export_VnVs.txt file (haven't got around to doing error-checking on this file yet), and outputs them to OutputEnums.txt.
